Oktetten Lars 8 - Heritage (2019)

The octet Lars 8 - nine musicians including vocalist - plays jazz compositions and original arrangements of mainly Lars Gullin, but also by Lars Sjösten, Lars Färnlöf and Lars Werner. All of these composers are icons within the Swedish jazz, in which, in particular, Lars Gullin carried on a musical heritage based on a Nordic, romantic tone language. Several of the musicians in Lars 8 have worked regularly and closely with one or more of the above "Larsar" over the years on both recordings and concerts. The octet's repertoire also includes originals and songs by the band's own members.
